The 56th Annual Contact Lens & Primary Care
Congress presented by the Heart of America Contact Lens Society was, once
again, a great success and represented a great opportunity for College of
Optometry students and residents to network, present posters, receive high
quality continuing education, and help as monitors and graduates to have the
opportunity to see their classmates and enjoy, not only the expansive exhibit
hall but also customize their education based upon the five tracks of courses
given simultaneously. The faculty
included two UMSL graduates, Drs. Rebecca Wartman(‘87) and Shane Kannarr(‘00)
and Assistant Dean, Dr. Ed Bennett.
Likewise, the Heart of America Board of Directors had a significant UMSL
presence with Drs. Sean Mulqueeny(‘91), Wes DeRosier(‘96) and President Craig
Brawley(‘01). Dr. Delaram “Deli”
Shirazian(’16), currently completing the Kansas City Veteran’s Administration
Medical Center residency program, was a recipient of a $2,000 grant from the
Heart of America.. In addition, six members of the UMSL “family” were lead
authors on scientific posters. This
included :
1) Liesl
Amon, OD (’16): A Case of Cystoid
Macular Edema Following Nd:YAG Capsulotomy
2) Jamie
Weiser, OD (’16): Bilateral Idiopathic
Panuveitis in a Pediatric Patient
3) Jessica
Jose, OD (’16): Treatment and Management
of Bilateral Alkaline Ocular Burns
4) Delaram
Shirazian, OD (’16): A Closer Look at
Epiretinal Membrane in a Patient with Hypotony
5) Allison

6) Jaclyn
Leonhardt, OD (Cornea and Contact Lens Resident): Troubleshooting Lens
Intolerance with EyeprintPRO
Finally, the annual alumni reception provided an
opportunity for both students and alumni classes to relax and enjoy an evening
of camaraderie. All attendees received a
new “Eye Chose UMSL” T-Shirt and the new Patient Care Center was highlighted
during this event.
